Chapter 36 We’re Both Men, Why Is the Difference So Great?

“No!”

Chu Feng’s heart beat wildly and he was covered in cold sweat.

He pushed Ji Rui away.

The skeleton only made a grabbing motion in the air, but it made him feel as nervous as facing a life and death situation.

Boom!

Ji Rui was pushed away fiercely and its grip landed on Chu Feng instead.

Instantly, the entire world went silent for a moment and his vision blurred.

The seawater kept churning, forming a vortex that was even larger than the one before. The Profound Mystery Bead had already lost its effect and the huge pressure at the bottom of the sea kept pressing on his organs.

“Cough, cough!”

Even if he activated the spiritual power in his body to mount a resistance, it was as powerless as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Chu Feng’s entire body tilted backwards and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face became incomparably pale.

Ji Rui realized that he looked very dispirited, as if he would close his eyes forever the next moment.

“How… how do you feel?”

She hugged Chu Feng tightly and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with her trembling fingertips.

The vortex at the bottom of the sea became more and more pressing, constantly slapping against the four people at the scene. Even Ji Rui, who had powerful spiritual power, felt a hint of turbulence.

After the jade skeleton launched the attack, it seemed to have exhausted all its strength and slowly dissipated into the vortex in the sea.

Ji Rui could not imagine why the person who had blocked the fatal blow for her was Chu Feng, who had no cultivation at all.

At this moment, his entire body felt weak and his eyelids were trembling and half-closed.

“My wife, it hurts. Maybe I really am going to die.”

After Chu Feng witnessed the bones dissipate, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

For the first time, he held Ji Rui’s small hand and watched her frown slightly as tears fell down her cheeks.

“You won’t die. I’ll never let you leave me!”

Ji Rui held Chu Feng’s hand tightly and had lost control of her emotions. “Don’t close your eyes,” she said.

“My wife, you’re so good to me… Actually, the moment I saw you in your wedding robe, I felt that this woman was really special… Cough, cough!”

“Then we got married, but you said that you and I could only be a fake couple and I was so lost.”

“You’re the first person to touch my heart.” After Chu Feng finished speaking, he kept coughing non-stop. Ji Rui had no choice but to gently pat his back and slowly transfer her spiritual power into his body.

“Don’t talk now. Just rest.”

“No…”

Chu Feng struggled to shake his head. “If I don’t say it now, I won’t have the chance to say it in the future.”

His breath was getting weaker.

“I didn’t treat you well at all, so why would you take that blow for me.”

Ji Rui asked softly.

Chu Feng laughed bitterly, causing him to feel another wave of pain. Blood flowed from his mouth.

“My instinct is to protect you, even if I’m weak and helpless in your eyes.”

My instinct is to protect you.

This simple sentence made Ji Rui’s heart tremble. Tears had unknowingly filled her eyes and silently rolled down her cheeks.

“I’m dying.”

Chu Feng’s voice was choked and he spoke with difficulty.

“Can you fulfill one of my wishes…”

“Say it. As long as I can, I will do it.”

After receiving Ji Rui’s affirmation, Chu Feng mustered his courage and said, “My wife, I want you to kiss me.”

“You…”

Ji Rui was stunned and felt a little puzzled. She blinked away the tears in her eyes.

“Can you? This is my last regret.”

Before Chu Feng could finish speaking, his eyes closed forever. Ji Rui stuck her finger into his nose and found that he was no longer breathing

“You! You’re not allowed to die.”

“Wake up now!”

“Chu Feng, I want you to wake up. I won’t let you die!”

Her tears flowed uncontrollably and Ji Rui’s face was equally pale. Everything had happened too quickly. Before she could fulfill Chu Feng’s last wish, he had already passed away.

Trembling, Ji Rui pressed a kiss to his forehead.

“Oh?”

Right in front of her, the man who had already closed his eyes actually came back to life.

“Is my soul out of my body now? Is this heaven or hell?”

Chu Feng asked innocently.

She instantly understood what had happened and hurriedly wiped the tears off her face. She yelled at him coldly, “How dare you joke with me like this? If you’re tired of living, I can personally send you down!”

“My wife, it’s my fault!”

Chu Feng quickly hugged her thigh and apologized awkwardly.

Ji Rui narrowed her eyes and said, “You were clearly dead just now.”

“Ahem, that was all pretend. That Martial Emperor’s attack only looked scary, but it actually didn’t have much power.”

Chu Feng casually made up a lie.

Of course, in reality, he did not go off to meet the King of Hell. It was all thanks to the Crimson Hammer that he carried with him.

Just now, all the power of the Martial Emperor’s skeleton was coincidentally blocked by the Crimson Hammer he kept in his lap. The system had also said that its material was indestructible. After all, Chu Feng found it too unyielding and hard to even hold it in his hand.

Even though it required someone of the Martial God realm to unleash its full strength.

Regardless, the Crimson Hammer was still a peerless artifact weapon. Even if that attack came from the jade skeleton of a Martial Emperor, it could still completely offset it.

What landed on Chu Feng’s body was only one ten-thousandth of its spiritual power. But even so, it still damaged his internal organs and made him vomit blood.

Fortunately, his body had previously fused with an extremely domineering drop of Sakya blood.

Almost at the same moment that he was injured, the Sakya blood was stimulated and became active.

The Sakya blood frantically repaired Chu Feng’s damaged internal organs and improved his blood circulation. At the same time, the exhausted vitality in his body recovered at a visible speed.

With such a cheating weapon, no wonder he was invincible among his peers in the same realm!

It was the combination of these two items that allowed Chu Feng to survive the attack.

Weidai He and Yan Bang, who had already fled thousands of miles away, sensed the abnormality here. The spiritual energy fluctuation just now had completely disappeared and they quickly made their way back.

Yan Bang looked at Chu Feng in amazement and shouted, “Brother Chu Feng, are you alright?”

Although he had just discovered that Chu Feng was a martial cultivator, from the display of Chu Feng’s spiritual power, he was not one of the top-notch ones. How could he be still alive after being struck by the condensed power of a Martial Emperor?

He thought that Chu Feng, who was vomiting blood, would definitely die and he felt a trace of sadness.

After all, there was no other man in the world who looked as good as him, apart from Chu

Feng.

If Chu Feng really died, there would be no man in this world worthy of his respect and that would be too regrettable.

However, now that he realized Chu Feng was not dead, Yan Bang felt a little upset.

What kind of ability did this person have to be able to survive under the hands of a Martial Emperor?

They were both men, but why was the difference so great…
